Lithuania used to have the cheapest electricity in the European Union.

Omissions

• The MEP does not specify when Lithuania supposedly had the cheapest electricity. The phrase 'used to have' is vague and could refer to any past period, including before EU accession (2004) or before the Ignalina nuclear plant shutdown (2009), for which Eurostat data was not found in this search.
• All available recent data points (2017–2025) consistently show other EU countries — Bulgaria, Hungary, Finland, and Sweden — with lower household electricity prices than Lithuania.
• The claim may be referring to wholesale electricity prices rather than household consumer prices, but the MEP did not specify this distinction.
• The speaker is from Tautos ir teisingumo sąjunga (ESN group), a nationalist party that may have an incentive to present Lithuania's past in a favourable light.
